Here’s a simple, classic Peach Cobbler recipe — warm, juicy peaches baked under a golden, buttery topping. This is the Southern-style version where the batter rises over the fruit while baking, forming a soft cake-like crust with crisp edges. Pure comfort!
🍑 Easy Peach Cobbler
🕒 Time: ~10 min prep + 40–45 min bake
🍽 Serves: 6–8
🧾 Ingredients:
For the filling:
-
4 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned — see notes)
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
½ tsp ground cinnamon
-
1 tsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
(Optional) 1 tbsp cornstarch for extra thickness (especially if using fresh peaches)
For the batter topping:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup sugar
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
1 cup milk
-
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F.
2. Prepare the peaches:
-
If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them, then toss with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla, and (optional) cornstarch.
-
If using canned peaches, drain most of the syrup (leave a little for flavor), and mix with the same ingredients.
3. Melt the butter:
-
Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish or deep pie dish.
4. Make the batter:
-
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Stir in milk until smooth.
-
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter — do not stir.
5. Add the peaches:
-
Spoon the peach mixture evenly on top of the batter. Again, do not stir — the batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.
6. Bake:
-
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
-
Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
🍨 Serving Suggestions:
-
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of heavy cream.
🌀 Variations:
-
Spiced: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger with the cinnamon.
-
Crunchy topping: Sprinkle with coarse sugar or cinnamon-sugar before baking.
-
Berry twist: Add a handful of blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries to the peaches.
